Tony Dungy, the first black head coach inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, openly criticized Vice President Kamala Harris over a faith-based comment she made in defense of abortion. In her post, Harris claimed that “one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs” to support a woman’s right to choose.

Amber Thurman’s tragic death was caused by complications from legal abortion drugs and gross medical malpractice. She should have been treated immediately by physicians who instead waited too long to act.
Georgia’s pro-life law is not the issue. It does not criminalize doing a… https://t.co/2xnYqPwHfi— Benjamin Watson (@BenjaminSWatson) September 19, 2024
Watson added, “Amber should be alive, and [Harris] should focus her attention on these facts…rather than promoting politically motivated falsehoods.”
